To find the missing side of the triangle, we use pythagorean theorem.
c^2=a^2+b^2
Put values
16^2 = 5^2 +b^2
256=25+b^2
Subtract 25 from both sides.
231=b^2
Take square root.
15.2=b
or
b=15.2 Rounded to nearest tenth.

If I chose a number uniformly from the integers from 1 to 25, calculate the conditional probability that the number is a multipl
topjm [15]

Answer:

<h2>1/7</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

If I choose a number from the integers 1 to 25, the total number of integers I can pick is the total outcome which is 25. n(U) = 25

Let the probability that the number chosen at random is a multiple of  6 be P(A) and the probability that the number chosen at random is is larger than 18 be P(B)

P(A) = P(multiple of 6)

P(B) = P(number larger than 18)

A = {6, 12, 18, 24}

B = {19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25}

The conditional probability that the number is a multiple of 6 (including 6) given that it is larger than 18 is expressed as P(A|B).

P(A|B) = P(A∩B)/P(B)

Since probability = expected outcome/total outcome

A∩B = {24}

n(A∩B) = 1

P(A∩B) = n(A∩B)/n(U)

P(A∩B) = 1/25

Given B = {19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25}.

n(B) = 7

p(B) = n(B)/n(U)

p(B) = 7/25

Since P(A|B) = P(A∩B)/P(B)

P(A|B) = (1/25)/(7/24)

P(A|B) = 1/25*25/7

P(A|B) = 1/7

<em>Hence the conditional probability that the number is a multiple of 6 (including 6) given that it is larger than 18 is 1/7</em>

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

168 girls.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a total of 6 + 7 = 13 'parts'.

So one part = 364 / 13 = 28.

So the number of girls = 6 * 28

= 168.
